It hurts. Lol. So now I'm going to make a cocktail, retire to my fortress of solitude, lick my wounds and watch something in HDR. #GettingOld
Yeah, these young whipper-snappers don’t realize how good they’ve got it with their virgin bodies and near perfect vision - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post16463278 .

I have a bulging disc in my lower back that sits close to a spinal nerve. Once while in Home Depot I bent over to pick up a bolt I’d dropped on the floor. That action irritated the nerve and I dropped to the floor in SEVERE pain like being shot in the back. Finally got up and walked out stooped waaaay over like a guerilla in order to try to lessen the pain by positioning. Then with some shoppers looking at me like WTF and someone’s dog barking at me as if I was doing something I shouldn’t be doing, added an embarrassment factor to the whole painful incident.

Luckily my wife was with me because it all would have been worse if I had to drive myself home.

P.S.
I left the bolt on the floor.
